Increasing mobility and accelerated urban growth are the main cause of noise emissions and are predicted to increase in the future. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Environment Agency (EEA), chronic exposure to noise pollution affects the physical and mental well-being of millions of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the digital turn in architecture, advances in digital technologies have opened up multiple design possibilities, enabling the composition, optimization, and intelligent performance of complex geometries. At the same time, one can see a return to ornamentation in contemporary architecture. Whereas building sculpture, lush facade design, and decorations were considered useless or superfluous during the modern era, generative design and digital manufacturing technologies provide today the technological apparatus to rethink the performance of these elements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"soundcape-1\">Schutz vor Umweltl\u00e4rm in st\u00e4dtischen Gebieten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eSoundCape\u201c erforscht die potenzielle Leistung von Geb\u00e4udeh\u00fcllen als wirksame schallabsorbierende Elemente gegen L\u00e4rmemissionen im Au\u00dfenraum durch den gezielten Einsatz von Ornamentik sowie digitalen Design- und Fertigungstechnologien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Umgebungsl\u00e4rm ist eine der gr\u00f6\u00dften wachsenden \u00f6kologischen Herausforderungen in St\u00e4dten und eine oft untersch\u00e4tzte Belastung f\u00fcr die Gesundheit unserer st\u00e4dtischen und nat\u00fcrlichen \u00d6kosysteme. Zunehmende Mobilit\u00e4t und beschleunigtes Stadtwachstum sind die Hauptursache f\u00fcr L\u00e4rmemissionen und werden voraussichtlich in Zukunft zunehmen. In dicht besiedelten Gebieten kann die L\u00e4rmbelastung die Gesundheit der Bewohner negativ beeinflussen. Wie die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) und die Europ\u00e4ische Umweltagentur (EUA) berichten, beeintr\u00e4chtigt die chronische L\u00e4rmexposition das k\u00f6rperliche und geistige Wohlbefinden von Millionen von Menschen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seit der digitalen Wende in der Architektur haben Fortschritte in digitalen Technologien eine vielf\u00e4ltige Gestaltungsm\u00f6glichkeit der Anordnung, Optimierung und intelligenten Leistung komplexer Geometrien er\u00f6ffnet. Gleichzeitig kann man eine R\u00fcckkehr zur Ornamentik in der zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Architektur sehen. W\u00e4hrend eine reichhaltige Dekoration und Fassadengestaltung in der Moderne als nutzlos oder \u00fcberfl\u00fcssig galten, bieten generative und digitale Produktionstechnologien heute die technologischen Mittel, diesen Elementen einen neuen Nutzen zu geben.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eSoundCape\u201c adressiert diese Pr\u00e4misse, durch die Untersuchung von Ornamentik als hochspezialisiertes Geb\u00e4udeelement zur L\u00e4rmreduktion. An der Schnittstelle zwischen k\u00fcnstlerischer und wissenschaftlicher Forschung sehen wir ein starkes Potenzial f\u00fcr die Architektur, sich mit akustischer \u00d6kologie und urbanen Klanglandschaften auseinanderzusetzen, um st\u00e4dtische Gebiete vor L\u00e4rm zu sch\u00fctzen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SoundCape Combating Environmental Noise in Urban Areas \u201cSoundCape\u201d explores the acoustic performance of building envelopes as effective sound-absorbing noise regulators and their potential to combat environmental noise in outdoor space through the targeted use of ornamentation, generative design, and digital fabrication technologies.
